Outside of ratter winters, I've never seen such low prospects for snow for this area in the heart of January. Very reminiscent of 2020, 2023, 2012. That being said, we've had as much snow as entire winter 2024, all of winter 2023, all of winter 2020, and all of winter 2012. So it's very unlikely we end up in ratter territory unless we see no more snow for the rest of the season. But unless we have a massive turnaround at some point this month, winter has taken a vacation from the US. Just mild and warm as far as the eye can see

2003, 2005, 2006, 2010, and 2021 would like a word. Most of those Jans were cold yes but saw relatively snowless first halfs

BAM is honking about a warmer than expected "thaw" says it might persist longer than originally expected. Still expecting a flip to cold afterwards but even they admit this thaw has some teeth

Attention complaint department:

What's with the Koppen Climate classifications?  Calling NYC "subtropical" seems like poor nomenclature.

What is the utility of having NYC in the same climate classification (humid subtropical climate) as Orlando?  If that's true, why are there snowbirds?
